Fulfill Your Quest For Global Domination Paradox Development Studio is back with the fourth installment of the award-winning Europa Universalis series. The empire building game Europa Universalis IV gives you control of a nation to guide through the years in order to create a dominant global empire.

Recomendations for what idea groups to choose for Poland. I always find this one of the more difficult decissions (early on at least) becuase of how important it is. Poland is very unique, too, in the ideas you should choose. I hope this helps.

Free DLC: 'Women in History' to be released March 8th alongside patch 1.11

6 mart.

Free EU4 Add-on Brings the Great Women of History

STOCKHOLM – The pages of history books are filled with the stories of great men – but also great women: artists, authors, councilors, and rulers. WouldTenochtitlan have fallen without the language skills of Malinche guiding Cortez? Had the reign of Edward IV not been cut short by illness, wouldEngland have still ruled the seas, deprived of the strong hand of Elizabeth I?

To mark International Women’s Day (March 8th) Paradox Development Studio has created a free update for Europa Universalis IV, adding 100 great women of history to the game. Each character can be generated through event triggers (a weak regency, a colonial empire, certain ideas, etc.). Players will then have choices about how to use this talented woman. Some may join your court as advisors, some might be suitable for riskier employment as rulers or leaders.

Thomas Johansson, the head of Paradox Development Studio, says that this DLC does something important for the company’s flagship title. "It's no surprise that the role of women in history isn't as well known as that of men,” Johansson says. “Europa Universalis, admittedly, hasn't done a lot to foreground their contributions. We thought that International Women's Day was the best time to do a little bit to help balance the scales and introduce our audience to some very interesting people." The DLC will contain the following features:

One Hundered new events for important women in history such as Queen Elizabeth I, Caterina Sforza and Sophie Germain.

Female advisors can appear at your court in place of their male counterparts.

Female portaits for all 22 advisor types in the game.

The Women’s History DLC is free for all Europa Universalis IV players and will be available on March 8th, 2015. Full patch notes![forum.paradoxplaza.com].

Most games difficulty can be judged by the percentage of players who have completed the achievements. In Europa Universalis 4 around 14% have completed the basic ones. So this game is very hard and there's a reason to why, but more on this later.

It doesn't take very long to get in to because the tutorials are great! Europa Universalis 4 is very complex in a Paradox Interactive way. But I find it very challenging and rewarding at the same time.

What I like the most is the diplomacy and the forging of alliances. Everything falls into place when war breaks out, then you will either regret or cherish the alliances you've made. So you have to be on your toes and pay attention to the world around you, not only in order to accomplish your goals, but to strike when other nations fall apart. Suing for peace is another thing I like, where the options are based on how well the war is going, or went if you completely destroyed your enemy. The AI use these options too, with various outcome.

The trade system in Europa Universalis 4 is complex but well worth taking a closer look at and understand well because it generates the money for your nation. There are details and other brilliant things worth mentioning too, but I'll leave them for you to find.

Europa Universalis 4 doesn't tell you what to do so you have to challenge yourself with your own goals. There are missions and decisions where the game asks you to do things. Like "Build fort in province x", "Increase reputation with nation x" as examples of missions. These missions rewards you with different things which helps your nation. The decisions can be "Form empire from x", which gives your nation a boost in certain areas during a set date. But you don't have to do these. If you don't like missions you can chose them and then cancel them, the decisions you don't care about you just ignore. So there's nothing stopping you making your own history.

The history and current progress of the world is written in a ledger, which is quite interesting. The ledger is a very useful tool and probably worth a review on its own.

There are events, historical and generic. The historical events are the only thing which force you to do things "as they were". Unfortunately I hate the generic ones.I've read that they're meant to give the player something to do and balance things, but for me they are just frustrating and just there to work against you. For example, there's one where your heir falls ill. you can either spend money to send for a physician or not spending money(or ducats as they're called). The "spend money" option gives the heir 50% chance of dying. The other where you don't spend money a 75% chance. I always chose the 50% option, spend money and EVERY time the heir dies! Other generic things happen depending on different things, even though they shouldn't happen they do happen and always in the most inappropriate time and some are bound to happen sooner or later.

So these generic events gives me a "love, hate relation" to this game. The Iron man-mode which you have to be in to get the achievements I guess I can cope with in the long run.

In Iron man-mode you only have one save game and the game saves every month and overwrites that save game every time. Which results in two things. 1: The game progress very slowly as you wait for the save file to be written 70% of the time you play. 2: Things which happen, either your own wrong doing or the generic events are irreversible. So if you do a mistake or are screwed by an event, you have to start all over, from 1444.

Having someone nearby who can comfort you and give you advice does help to overcome these things.

If you are unsure, wait for it to come on sale, because this game is great and a "must buy" for everyone who love strategy games.

Best 7.5€ i've spent on a game ever before , believe me once you understand how to play this game you will not stop playing it , i litteraly play 3 hours straight in minimum , sometimes i dont want to start playing it cuz i just cant stop one of the best games ever <3

This Guide is meant for the moderately experienced player, who has not yet played Ottomans in depth. Instead of giving too detailed pointers on the individual achievements I tried to give tipps on how to make life easier and avoid the bigger mistakes. If

Hotfix for the 1.10 patch to address some high priority issues, primarily balance problems with Liberty Desire and feedback in regards to exploration. We'll also be looking into ways to improve the exploration interface for the next proper patch.

- Japanese Daimyos no longer start at high liberty desire in 1444.

- After Privilegia is revoked, Imperial vassals will no longer have hundreds of liberty desire from relative power to liege.

- AI now gets the correct amount of attrition.

- Manual exploration is now enabled for everyone.

- Fixed a bug that was causing countries warning you to be called in even when not declaring war on their neighbours.

- Europe will now properly get tradegoods in Custom Setup.

- Fixed some inconsistencies in Aggressive Expansion between tooltip and actual effect.

In case you don't visit the paradox forum, they are working on the next big patch which overhauls the province and building system in the game.
It will in the future be possible to upgrade your provinces for ADM points so that you can still compete when ...
